An Able Protector.

If there is more able protector
against the inCursions of disease than
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, we have
yet to learn of it. Against the periodic
attacks of fever and ague it affords a
sure defense, IL renews waning vitality,
and counteracts the infrmities of age
it prevents dyspepsia from becoming
chronic, and eventually annihilates it.
1t rouses the liver and kidneys when
dormant, and iDsures regular habit of
body. To the nervous it is of inestim-
able benefit, inparting steadiness and
vigor into au enfeebled physique. The
term, delicate health" is usually
another name for debility. While the
Bitters is procurable, the weak need
never despair of physical reinforcement.
Persons whose avocatious are sedentary
and laborious, or involve exposure to
unfavorable climatic influences, will
also find the Bitters an able protector.

The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1887-09-22

Since the adoption of the present
methods of seed-testing in the national
agricultural department, irresponsible
drummers and others have found a
difficulty in unloading weevil-eaten
beans, stale turnip seeds, scalded toma-
to seeds, etc., upon the department,
and the result is as might be expected
"a howl of execration. In a recent
issue of the New York World one of
this fraternity starts up again the stale
old story that the commissioner is pur-
chasing seeds of firms in which he~is
pecuniarily interested, a story which
the commissioner fatty denies, and
which no one really believes.-Farms

Poultry in the South.

Poultry from time immemorial I'M
til the present, has been considered
one of the small and comparatively
unimportant interests of the farm, but
the last few years shows a great deal
of awakening in this direction.
Poultry is always profitable, the ex-
ceptions being so few as to but prove
our statement true, as a rule, when
fowls are not taken care of. The ques-
ton of profit and loss should not be
considered as having any force what
ever in a discussion of the Importance
of the business. No other department
of farm industry is equally sure to pay
a profit at all times. In many cases
coming under our observation, a pru-
Nent farmer has found a goodly flock
Of fine chickens to contribute to the
support of his family to al important
extent when the big departments of
his farm had failed to pan out accord
ing to his expectations. Besides, all
the arabic acres may be under cult
walton without interfering with the
work of raising domestic poultry, a
great deal Of which can be attended
to by the housewife and her children.
Indeed the wife could often tell much
better than her husband whether
their fowls proved profitable.
The raising of poultry is growing
in Importance, and it's demand as a
food product is increasing everywhere
Farmers and others are beginning to
consider the question in it's proper
light, and a spirit Of inquiry has sprung
up in every direction. The agricul.
tural press of the country recognizes
the growing importance of the subject
and now provide a fair amount OF
reading matter in all issues upon the
varied subjects pertaining to the rails.
ing of poultry. Poultry shows are
numerous all over the country and are
generally we'll attended, and thousands
of dollars + paid out in premiums
after having been received from visit
ors who were glad to pay a moderate
fee to see what modern breeders have
accomplished.
The earlier phases of the chicken
fever, like the mania formerly affect
ing stock breeders Of all kinds in this
country, included not much else than
a desire to become possessed of such
fowls as would win numerous prizes
when shown and command large fig
| ures from purchasers But A. better
and more sensible condition of things
now exists. A ten thousand dollar
Jersey COW, or a hundred dollar hen
are seldom sought for by very anx.
ious buyers. The main questions are
of a practical nature, and improved
fowls are now in demand, mainly fo1
their points of undoubted utility
Poultry is becoming an important
factor in our growing prosperity, and
is Il of the specially agricultural
interests that has a large future before
it. The intelligent poultry breeder
need not envy the bonanza farmer,
for hundreds of acres are no longer
necessary. A great deal can be &C.
complished in a small space, and hun.
dreds and thousands Of rural jewellers,
as we'll as suburban inhabitants of ou1
cities, can contribute to their con.
venience and income by keeping a
nice flock of well-bred fowls, which
will not only afford profit, but pleasure.

Hay crops will be light in most of the
